I am currently in a TRADOC environment. I work in the O room and yesterday I was talking about how sometimes when I am stretching I can still feel the lump where I had my peanut butter shot three years ago. I was the only careerist in the office at the time and all seven IET personal had no clue what I was talking about. Is this something that they don't give any more? It is like the another time when I was trying explain to them that there is more to PT than just PRT and they looked at me like I was a unicorn or something.

Very few soldiers benefit from the gamma globulin shot, I wouldn't be surprised if most entries in the last few years never took it.

Not much point in giving gamma globulin unless you've had a contaminated needle stick (my experience), or fallen into an outhouse, or similar. It was probably a pet project of a Surgeon General for a while; I served from 71 to 94 ( with a couple of breaks ), and never saw it given as described here.

We got the gamma globulin shot in 1990 on our way to Iraq. Out of all the soldiers that got the shot went to their knees. Man, that sucker HURT.

I had to get a penicillin shot a few years back for a case of strep throat that I needed cleared up fast (oh, the things Company XOs will do to make their commanders happy). Anyway, the medics who administered this particular shot referred to it as peanut butter (it felt like it while being injected into my backside too!) so that is what I have always associated peanut butter in shot form with.
